When I use the wall charger to charge, the LED lights don't light up, so I don't know if the batteries are charging or not. Is this normal?

Seems like you may have a problem, the lights on my charger have lit up every time I plug it in. There is a possibility the wall piece itself is bad though. Maybe try another USB charger an see if it works. Or put dead batteries in it leave it for roughly an hour an try them again to see if they have taken a charge.

No, the LEDs should light. Try reseating the batteries, sometimes they don't line up right. They should light red initially then change to green after they are finished charging.

Without knowing the state of your battery it would be hard to say. Try the recondition button to see if you can get the battery to work, press the large button until recond light is lit. It takes a while to recondition the battery. Modern battery chargers will not charge bad batteries. If you started with a dead battery, then recondition may help. If the battery was okay then you have a bad unit. I would try it on a good battery before sending it back

Make sure your usb port is supplying 5 volts. Lights should be on when charging, if they are already or reach fully charged no lights.

Here is a link that fully answers your question. http://www.batterychargers.com/Documents/0099001192WB-00.pdf Basically when the YELLOW LED flashes, the charger has aborted the charge as the battery may no longer be capable of taking a charge and must be replaced. That said, it is a good idea to reset the charger and try the charge again before replacing the battery. To reset the charger merely unplug the charger from the wall, wait a minute, then replug it back into the wall...If the light stays SOLID ON and yellow, then it is charging...it may take a while...if it faults out again and starts flashing yellow again, then replace the battery. GOOD LUCK. and I am most sorry for your the loss of you husband.

I'm assuming you have it plugged into a USB port to charge it or pressed the power button to check charge level. Accd to user guide, 1 LED blinking = less than 10% capacity and needs charging. After a few hrs of charging one light will be on solid, middle should blink, then middle solid, 3rd blinking. When fully charged all 3 lights should be on solid (~ 6 hrs). To minimize charge time use a 1A or higher USB charger vs a computer port which only puts out max of 1/2 A.

From what I understand from reading the owners manual, that indication is the chargers way of telling you that the battery is very discharged and is only at about 25% of its capacity. The LEDs are supposed to blink, not light up solid, as the charger is charging. If there is nothing wrong with the battery, the charge level should start going up after a while and in a few hours, the LEDs should read at 100% (solid, not blinking, red, red, yellow, green LEDs). I hope this helps you Mary! Michael R

Hi Thomas Q., I ordered mine and plugged it in and I believe it has charged the batteries. I will check tonight when I get home to see if they were fully charged and let you know. I do know the charger red light came on when I plugged it in which should signify it is working and charging.FD

About 2 months ago I purchased 18 of these units. When charging them all, I initially found that only 4 of the 18 green lights on the chargers came on and the rest remained off. However, I verified that although the green light was not on, the battery was still being charged as expected (the charger was working fine, but the Green LED just wasn't working). As time went on more green lights would come on, somewhat sporadically it seemed - but all the chargers were still charging. It's certainly inconvenient. As a result, I measure the voltage on each battery after charging to verify that it reached capacity. About 2 months ago I purchased 18 of these units.

I called the Samsung company, and he told me to keep it plugged in the wall, and eventually it was a steady light and it started to charge. I let it charge for a while and it was totally charged. So try this before you go out and buy a new battery.

I just got one and the user manual is ridiculously lacking in details. So humor me...how do i check charge status? I turned it on and all lights blinked once. I plugged it in the wall and only 1 light is blinking. How do I know when it is fully charged?

If the batteries get warm after a few hours, they are charging. If not, make sure you have power at the outlet. If so, get a new charger.

I don't think that is normal, because my charger does not do it. So far I have not had any problems with the charger or the batteries. You should call the company and ask them about it. I am extremely satisfied with this product.

Hello, how are you? You know I dont remember for sure. I'm thinking the original charger had a light that never showed if it was charged(it was always on). I went ahead and bought a fast charger that goes from solid to blinking when charged.

Maybe it is defective. They are rather cheaply made. The light on USB goes on when I am charging and goes off when it is done as does the light on the charger itself. Judging by the other responses they do not all seem to work the same way.

All the lights will lit up solid. You are probably using a wall adapter that is not powerful enough. Please use an USB adapter with a minimum of 1.5A to charge please.

Not sure, my light is always on, even if units are fully charged. Might be a bad charger. I'd get a multi-meter and check output voltage of charging cable and then the dock also. Then you still might have to get a replacement. Good luck.

The LED light on my unit remains red until the battery is charged, at which time, it then turns green. I don't know how a new battery would solve the problem. Is the unit actually charging the battery? It may be the LED light on the charger that is the problem.
